Fanwork Notes

SWG Challenge prompt: Soundtrack: "Hamamda Ilk Gözyaslari" by Can Atilla. (Apologies for loss of diacritics.)

How unpredictable instrumental music prompts are! I listened to the piece twice, one week apart.

What somehow emerged on the second listening--this drabble--was not much like what I would have expected when I listened the first time...

Thank you!

Yes, what I meant was that Idril wasn't fooled. She isn't satisfied in the sense that of course she isn't happy if Aredhel is unhappy! But she doesn't have the same kind of stake as Turgon and the others do in Aredhel not only admiring Gondolin, but loving it (even though she herself may love the city already and that love will deepen as time goes on).
